Power Struggle

I have had to use load$ of ordinary batterie$ in my camera instead of the stash of rechargables.
Even the new ones refuse to fully charge in the mains charger.
We have found sometimes electronic gizmos don't like the power supplied from or solar power system, digital clocks for example.
Now was this a dying charger or an off grid problem.
Umming and ahhing over a new charger I idly wondered if someone made a solar battery charger?
 . . . OF COURSE THEY DO! 
Now waiting for solar charger which cost waaaaay less than a new mains one.

Here are some makies which probable cost 4 AA batteries each photo!

Rustic edgy torched enamel
Shot on my new crusty, dark, battered background. A well used and burnt teflon pan. (Probably using it for a background is a better health choice than cooking with it. Ya think?)

 

More torched enamel with faux opal and gold leaf

Heffalumps n lampwork n polymer beads n gold leaf. These babies are looooong.

And just to show that this is a high battery budget outfit .....
A WIP

The little tin bezels will be filled with something as soon as my muse gets back from a painting she decided to put into a local art competition.
